Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 812 - 804: Is One Box of TT Enough? (Part 1)

Then she immediately turned her head, refusing to look into Ji Anning’s eyes. She didn’t know how to pretend not to know.

She clearly knew that she was about to purposely blind one of her own good eyes, yet still had to act ignorant.

Jin Yuanyuan walked ahead, barely managing a few steps before needing to stop herself—unable to bear seeing, yet unable to look away.

"What’s wrong?"

Ji Anning raised her head just as Jin Yuanyuan turned to look at her, asking curiously.

Jin Yuanyuan pressed her lips together, forcing a smile, then turned back around and continued walking with her hands tightly gripping the strap of her bag.

"Yuanyuan, is there something bothering you?" Ji Anning, noticing the oddity in Jin Yuanyuan’s steps, said, "If there’s anything you need help with, just tell me. Don’t beat around the bush."

She thought Jin Yuanyuan needed her help with something.

"If I needed help, I definitely wouldn’t beat around the bush," Jin Yuanyuan stopped and waited for Ji Anning to catch up, then hooked her arm affectionately.

She affectionately rested her head on Ji Anning’s shoulder.

Although Jin Yuanyuan had always been enthusiastic toward her, she had become much more reserved since their reunion. This was the first time she had initiated such closeness.

Ji Anning was surprised for a moment and pressed further, concerned, "Hey, seriously, do you need help with something?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Jin Yuanyuan shook her head, "No, no."

Then she joked, "Big star, you should autograph something for me someday."

Instantly feeling more energetic, Ji Anning still sensed something was off, but it was clear, Jin Yuanyuan didn’t want to talk about it.

But whatever it was, it probably had to do with her students.

Ji Anning thought, and decided not to press Jin Yuanyuan further. She nudged her with her elbow and said, annoyed, "You really don’t seem like yourself at all. Why don’t you go back to being the old Jin Yuanyuan."

She truly sincerely hoped she could be like before.

Jin Yuanyuan just smiled, didn’t engage with the topic, and looked up towards the sky. After a while, as if struck by a sudden thought, she said to Ji Anning, "Anning, let’s go walk around near the school."

Walk around near the school? T University?

Ji Anning didn’t have much attachment to that school, having only studied there for a semester.

But that was where she had met Jin Yuanyuan; all of their time together was spent there, so going for a walk there indeed was the best choice.

She nodded, "Sure, there’s also a mall there. We can take Zhen Cheng for some shopping."

She mainly wanted to buy some gifts for Zhen Cheng as a reward and encouragement—not out of sympathy.

The little guy must have been riding in such a good car for the first time. As he got on, he was very reserved, carefully looking around the interior, his small hands placed on his legs, always clenched into fists.

Ji Anning watched him for a while, then turned back and smiled at him, "Zhen Cheng, how about I play a nursery rhyme that Fenfen likes to listen to?"

"Okay," Zhen Cheng nodded cautiously.

His slightly nervous look was heart-wrenching.

Jin Yuanyuan couldn’t help but stretch her hand out to touch his small head, her face full of maternal love despite not being a mother.

Ji Anning couldn’t help but recall how Yao Yiyang had spoken about Jin Yuanyuan, the unshakeable fondness at the corners of his mouth.

She couldn’t help but ask, "Didn’t you contact that kind person abroad for Zhen Cheng’s surgery?"

’This way is pretty good...’

Yao Yiyang’s remark, which had also made her accept the reality, had made her feel at that time that things were fine as they were, just like how she felt about her relationship with her younger uncle.
